You can choose from a banquet style arrangement, or smaller, intimate table setup. These packages include a white wedding tent with windowed walls for windy or less than perfect weather, or high peak canopy for sunny days to provide shade for your guests. Ceremony and reception take place in the private area of our “secret” garden, surrounded with trees, flowers, bamboo and decomposed granite that always stays dry and cooler, rather than hot asphalt or grassy, possibly muddy ground. Choose your own flower and ribbon colors. Small, elegant weddings are trending and ours include all the extras you have been looking for!

Modern Vintage look with a banquet style setup. High peak canopy provides shade.

Outdoor wedding with added tent side for windy day.

We had weddings on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and then the Rock and Roll Marathon on Sunday, which goes down Main Ave, right at our corner. Congratulations to those who participated in the event — we got tired just watching you run!

It started out as an Italian restaurant, but has changed hands and decor several times since then, sporting different names and menus, and at one time was even a French bistro. But now the restaurant is considered to be New American, with strong French and Italian influences, a match made in heaven for my Italian husband and for me, the former French professor and Francophile.

The new name? Tribeca di Olmos. A delightful place to relax, have a glass of wine in the lounge or enjoy a delicious dinner. And Jean-Francois is the most gracious French host you will ever find. The best part for us is that the kitchen is open later than most places and happy hour begins at 9:00 with half price pizza and a fabulous Caesar salad that is actually lightly grilled, adding a surprising new flavor to an old American staple. To add to the enticement, we can get a reasonably-priced glass of French wine, which is not easy to find in Texas. We suggest you check it out and tell them Gregg and Kelly sent you (if you don’t see us there)! http://www.tribecadiolmos.com/

We’ll start you off right in the morning at the Inn, and then you can finish your day at one of the many fabulous restaurants in our area. In this section I’ll share some of those places with you as well as talk about things we’re “cooking up” at the Inn.
